I'll look at the Tennent's stuff and see if what they were doing is congruent with Stock and Mild Ale. <br /><br />Increased in the summer, yes, but more than doubled?Barmhttp://refreshingbeer.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5445569787371915337.post-83462202751664811982012-03-14T10:01:31.847-07:002012-03-14T10:01:31.847-07:00Barm, I know Younger did re-use hops.

Some of their Stouts had no fresh hops at all.<br /><br />I suspect some of Younger's shilling Ales were brewed as Stock Ales and others as Mild Ales, which would explain the difference in hopping rates.<br /><br />Another thing to bear in mind is that the hopping rate was usually increased in the summer.Ron Pattinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03095189986589865751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5445569787371915337.post-46502142548264861432012-03-14T07:18:30.419-07:002012-03-14T07:18:30.419-07:00I've seen the same thing in some Tennent's...I've seen the same thing in some Tennent's logs. Hopping rates jumping about wildly with no apparent reason to it.<br /><br />It makes me suspect there was some re-use of hops going on. Why else would you be using 2.5 pounds a barrel for one brew and 6 pounds for the next?Barmhttp://refreshingbeer.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
